The newest thing in Tyr Tactical's lineup is the Enhanced PICO Integrated Carrier – EPIC Non-Cutaway, and they're offering a coupon code good for 15% off if you want to buy one (enter IDTOUR15 upon checkout to exploit it). If you're at the NYTOA (New York Tactical Officers Association) Conference you can go by and check one out yourself. If you're in the Seattle area, swing by the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Academy on 1st Ave. South in Burien — Tyr Tactical representatives are there as well (at least for a couple more hours).

Said Tyr earlier today,

“Introducing the New TYR Tactical Enhanced PICO Integrated Carrier – EPIC Non-Cutaway. It was designed to ensure proper area of coverage while enhancing the users range of motion. This both increases the ergonomics and performance of the carrier.”

The new armor uses the Tyr Integrated Ballistic System, which is designed to increase ballistic protection while reducing back face deformation, and includes a panel suspension- energy disbursement frame they call the Ballistic Vein. The Ballistic Vein is intended to increase load carriage performance overall by increasing rigidity where necessary to add weight to the system. It's also intended to reduce fatigue and increase comfort by preventing the irritating soft panel movement that can occur with many panels. The new rig is currently available in MultiCam, Coyote Brown, Ranger Green and Black.

Does it do everything it's supposed to? We'd have to wear one for a while to find out, but all the Tyr armor we've worn in the past has been extremely well made and damned comfortable so we're optimistic.  Full features below. Learn more or order one here.

The TYR Tactical® Enhanced PICO Integrated Carrier – EPIC™ Non-Cutaway (TYR-EPIC-NC) was designed to ensure proper area of coverage while enhancing the users range of motion. This both increases the ergonomics and performance of the carrier. The EPIC-NC also gives the user the ability to attach a 2-Wire Cutaway Cummerbund if needed (sold separately).
EPIC™ Non-Cutaway utilizes a four piece design called the Integrated Ballistic System that increases ballistic protection and reduces back face deformation.

The four piece design includes a panel suspension and energy disbursement frame. Known as the Ballistic Vein™, it increases the overall load carriage performance of a carrier and provides a more rigid platform for adding weight to the system. It also reduces fatigue by improving the complete structure of the carrier by retaining the soft armor panels in the proper configuration, preventing bunching and supporting the plates to improve edge hit protection. It reduces blunt trauma and back face deformation values and ultimately increases V50 performances by up to 125 feet per second by absorbing energy from projectile engagement.

FEATURES:
• PALS webbing for MOLLE attachment
• Hydration/Communication Tabs for routing
• Attachment points for a 2-Wire Cutaway Cummerbund (Sold Separately)
